The Problem

A large international retailer required a team of qualified and capable lawyers to carry out a contracts review and negotiation project to ensure regulatory compliance with already applicable regulations. Achieving this compliance required the engagement, co-operation, and agreement of hundreds of third party suppliers.

Contracts had to be sent to these third parties and acceptable modifications negotiated with many on an individual basis. This work was essential for regulatory compliance, and a regulatory deadline was looming, so the work had to be done appropriately, and with skill and tact, yet speedily.
